We just removed our old popcorn ceiling and had someone come in to patch etc and then apply a light texture to the ceiling. We have applied 2 coats of Lowe's American Tradition High Hiding Primer using the roller method of application. Depending on where you're standing you can see the darker area of the drywall (I call it a shadow). I can't really tell if this problem is consistant throughout or just in certain spots. I guess my questions are: Is this a common problem? Do we need to apply another coat of the same primer before applying the top coat of the finished paint (we plan on 2 coats)? Or do we need to use a different kind of primer to cover those "shadows" like Zinsser Bulls Eye 1.2.3 or Kilz?? Your help will be much appreciated!!! Susanne
